Robin, 
 
I have just returned from the Eastern Economic Association meetings in 
Boston.  Interestingly there was a paper presented by Christian Barager on 
"Joan Robinson on Marx."  He argued that she became interested in Marx 
partly due to Kalecki's influence and began to study his work seriously 
around 1940, with her essay on Marx coming out two years later.  He argued 
that she became more Marxist as she got older, a point that I have already 
made, but that she always retained much of her criticisms of Marxian theory. 
She saw it as impractical apparently. 
 
"Economics of Imperfect Competition" reflected her original influences 
from people like Pigou and Keynes and Sraffa and is very Marshallian.  There 
is no Marx in it at all.
